    frequently asked questions

    FAQ - find out more

    What is industrial rope access?

    Industrial rope access is a flexible, cost-effective access method used across various sectors like construction, oil and gas. This technique uses ropes and associated equipment to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. It's an alternative to traditional means such as scaffolding or cherry pickers. With certified IRATA-trained professionals at the helm, the method ensures a safe system of work while reducing risks and environmental impact.

    Why choose RAIL for offshore/onshore rope access?

    Choosing RAIL means opting for expertise and reliability. Our team comprises handpicked IRATA-certified technicians whose skills and knowledge are substantiated by rigorous rope access training. We ensure safe working practices in both onshore and offshore environments, adhering to industry standards. From rescue techniques to risk assessments, our array of services aligns perfectly with the demands of any industrial setting — near shore and offshore.

    Is rope access better than conventional methods?

    Rope access offers several advantages over conventional methods of working at height. Using ropes instead of mechanical lifts or scaffolding allows for quicker setup and less disruption to ongoing operations — ideal for projects requiring minimal impact. The technique is also incredibly versatile, from anchor points on high-rise structures to confined spaces within offshore oil rigs. Each task benefits from a tailored approach focused on health, safety, and efficiency.

    How much do offshore rope access technicians cost?

    The cost of rope access services depends on the number of technicians, the amount of time, and the transportation costs of any specialised equipment the job requires. Here at Rope Access in London, it is our mission statement to make our services as affordable as possible, and we’re always happy to work out a deal with a potential client. Contact us directly with the details of the task, and we’ll give you a quote, completely free of charge.
